Civic leaders are urging Gov. Kathy Hochul to deploy 100 state troopers to help clean up the “urban crime zone” of Roosevelt Avenue — the squalid stretch in Queens that’s been overrun with brothels, illegal vendors and crime. “It’s an urban crime zone and as a result we have more brothels than bodegas,” the leaders of the group Let’s Improve Roosevelt Avenue said in a letter to Hochul Tuesday. (Photo) Group leaders said the NYPD’s 100th and 115th precincts are “overwhelmed and understaffed” and the area has been taken over by organized crime — drug rings, human trafficking, pimps, prostitutes and shoplifting rings.

And what are they going to do with anyone who is arrested? They will be back on the street within hours, again and again and again. Until there are more and larger prisons this will just go on and on. Failing that I guess just leave them alone.

Hochul has a huge security detail. This doesn’t affect her in the least. My guess is she can’t be bothered. She’ll offer some fighting words, but Alvin Bragg and his team don’t care about this Problem. It doesn’t affect them directly. They do not care.

How many of these "entrepreneurs" are illegals? The sanctuary city policies have attracted a lot of people who have a lot of time on their hands and need money since they are unable to legally work. The State or city can come in and clear out whoever they want but they will just pop up somewhere else the next day after they are released.

Former Georgia candidate for U.S. Senate Herschel Walker blasted Barack Obama for sending black people backward in equality by demanding they vote based on skin color. Walker’s slam against Obama came after the former president warned that not enough black people — especially black men — are supporting Harris, according to the current polls.“Barack Obama, you forgot how hard we fought for our right to vote! Telling us how to vote based on color is a step backward. The bad policies of Biden/Harris have hurt us all. We need unity brother, not division!” Walker wrote, adding #Togetherwestand. (X)

Vice President Kamala Harris on Friday described “what’s at stake” in the 2024 election in notably vague terms – telling Arizona voters that “it’s packed with some stuff!” before bursting out in laughter. Harris, who appeared to be speaking without a teleprompter, began her remarks at the Scottsdale campaign event by telling supporters that as Election Day nears, America’s status as a “role model” for democracy “weighs on me sometimes.” About five minutes into her speech, however, the vice president decided to articulate the importance of the presidential election in even more plain terms. “So when we think about what’s at stake in this election – well,

Early voting is down significantly compared

The dramatic rise in early voting has led many to think the election might be effectively over days or weeks before Election Day. The data thus far show that won’t be true — and the numbers aren’t comforting for Democrats. Early voting is nowhere near what some people estimated: 4.2 million Americans have already cast their ballots, per John Couvillon, a Republican political strategist who provides daily updates on early and mail voting. That sounds like a lot, but it’s a pittance compared with the 158.6 million votes ultimately cast in 2020. More important, it’s significantly less than this point in 2020: Early voting is down 45%, Couvillon’s numbers show.

Kamala Harris had a problem, and like the savvy political operator she is, she set out to solve it. In doing so, she has bestowed upon us an invaluable gift: the most cringeworthy political ad in the history of the known universe.The genesis of this masterwork was simple: numerous polls showed that Donald Trump had a massive lead among men. That was understandable. Look at Trump and JD Vance, and then look at the weak half-men, men who think they’re women, and effeminate males that populate the Harris campaign. As Tim Pool remarked, “It's like Kamala has never met a man before.” Margot Cleveland, senior legal correspondent for The Federalist,

Both were lies. Barack Obama has always been a race hustler and a crude, low-thinking person.

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s latest book is a flop, selling only 27,000 copies in its first week, according to the Washington Free Beacon. That’s significantly less than the 167,000 copies of her previous book, “What Happened,” that were sold in the first week after its release in 2017.

Former President Donald Trump won’t appear on a voters’ pamphlet mailed across Oregon because the 2024 GOP nominee missed the deadline to submit a statement in the informational guide, officials said. Trump, along with his running mate Ohio Sen. JD Vance, will still be on the state’s ballot in his quest to retake the White House this November, but will be one of three presidential candidates that won’t show up in the booklet recently sent out to 3 million voters, according to reports. Along with not submitting a candidate statement, his campaign did not fork over a fee of $3,500, the Oregon Capitol Chronicle reported last month.
